Friction

Common complaints

Cheaters and hacking
This is the dominant complaint by far. Reviewers repeatedly describe rampant cheating, wallhacks, aimbots, and little perceived enforcement or anti-cheat progress. Found in 2 public reports.
Tutorial does not explain advanced mechanics deeply enough
The clearest substantive criticism is that the tutorial explains basic operation but not advanced tactics such as volleys, overcharging shots, and optimal strategies. Some players relied on external videos to understand these systems. Found in 1 public report.
Repetition and limited long-term content
A small number of players describe the station-to-station workflow as somewhat repetitive, while another reports finishing the campaign in roughly 12 hours but still wanting more content. Found in 1 public report.
Accessibility of the firing tinnitus effect
One explicit review reports physical pain from the high-pitched firing effect due to long-term tinnitus. Other reviews joke about hearing loss, indicating that loud audio and the tinnitus simulation warrant an accessibility option. Found in 1 public report.
Occasional bugs and visual obstruction
Most players report a stable experience, but isolated complaints mention incorrect timers in a late mission and a glitch involving objects taking over the nest and blocking the player's view. Found in 1 public report.
Missing multiplayer and VR support
Players request multiplayer and VR, but these are opportunity requests rather than current product failures. Several reviewers view multiplayer as a way to extend replayability. Found in 1 public report.
Minor cat customization gaps
A few players specifically want fully black fur or more precise eye-color options to better reproduce their real cats. This is low impact but highly visible among the game's fan community. Found in 1 public report.
Rats, campers, and extract ambushes
Players often say extract camping and low-risk ambush behavior make PvP feel unfair and frustrating, especially when geared players lose to passive tactics. Found in 1 public report.

Roadmap

Most requested features

Stronger anti-cheat enforcement
Players directly ask for VAC updates, anti-cheat fixes, and removal of cheaters from Premier and other modes. Found in 3 public reports.
More comprehensive tutorials and in-game advanced guidance
Teach volleys, charge optimization, overcharging, moving-target solutions, and other non-obvious tactics so players do not need external guides. Found in 1 public report.
Audio accessibility controls
Add a toggle or intensity slider for the tinnitus effect, firing flash, horn volume, and other potentially uncomfortable effects. Found in 1 public report.
Multiplayer or cooperative artillery operation
Players repeatedly express interest in operating the nest with others, which could add roles, coordination, and long-term replayability. Found in 1 public report.
VR support
The first-person, highly tactile turret interior is well suited to immersive VR interaction, and at least one player explicitly requests it. Found in 1 public report.
Additional missions and post-campaign content
Players who complete the campaign quickly want more scenarios, challenges, artillery duels, and reasons to keep operating the nest. Found in 1 public report.
More cat customization options
Expand fur colors, eye colors, markings, accessories, and possibly additional companion interactions to build on one of the game's most frequently praised features. Found in 1 public report.
Bug fixes for obstruction and mission timers
Resolve the view-blocking nest glitch and validate late-mission timers to protect an otherwise polished experience. Found in 1 public report.

Artillery calculation and puzzle-solving

Tactile heavy-gun operation
Loading shells, turning and elevating the turret, pulling the firing lever, and seeing the resulting impact create strong kinetic feedback and a reliable sense of payoff. Found in 1 public report.
Atmosphere and sound design
The dieselpunk walking artillery setting, detailed turret interior, war-map presentation, horns, machinery sounds, music, and cannon blasts are among the most frequently praised qualities. Found in 1 public report.
Accessible challenge curve
Players appreciate that missions introduce mechanics gradually, balancing relaxed planning with later time pressure and artillery counterfire. The challenge is commonly described as stressful in a fun rather than punishing way. Found in 1 public report.
